Great North Swim

About the event

Take the plunge for Pendleside Hospice!

Challenge yourself to a 1 mile open water swim in one of the UK’s most beautiful locations, and make every stroke count by supporting Pendleside Hospice.

By taking part, you’ll be helping to raise vital funds that enable Pendleside Hospice to provide compassionate care and support for patients and their families when they need it most. Whether you’re an experienced open water swimmer or looking for a new challenge, this is an unforgettable way to push yourself while making a real difference.

We kindly ask swimmers to aim for a fundraising target of £150, which will help us continue delivering compassionate care across the community.
